@macca :

OK but if SoftCAM doesn't work, the error may be in the configuration, don't you think ?!

Again ... you didn't write down what exactly didn't work. I don't know how to help you until you write down what doesn't work exactly. Does SoftCAM not start ? Or what exactly doesn't work ?

For example, if you use the manual installation procedure, which I described in my script (at the beginning you also have instructions for OpenPLi):

- github (source file): https://github.com/s.../master/softcam
- download (raw file): https://github.com/s.../master/softcam

...so at least OSCam just has to work! However, PLi Enigma also has its own well-handled IPK packages. So even in this case, simply the OSCam from the OpenPLi online feed must work. If that doesn't work, you're probably using the wrong configuration for OSCam.

Or write what exactly doesn't work ! But exactly please .

- to list all available packages on feed:

opkg update
opkg list | grep rtl8192

- to install a specific package, use the following command:

opkg install <specific_package_name>     # note: use the package name ! don't confuse this with the name of the IPK file

@daveraver:

There may be faulty hardware in the Formuler F1 device. Or try to check what I wrote before (in a bit chaotic style) - i.e. connect another TV or PC monitor (with HDMI input) to your Formuler F1 device.

There will probably be no bug in OpenPLi, as versions 8.0 and 7.3 behave the same in your case.

Above all, Cccam has closed source code and it is not freely available on the internet. This Cccam is obsolete, although functional.

However, compatibility with new system libraries causes problems. Even if you use symbolic links (these will invoke a new version of the libraries), there may not always be 100% compatible functions. This is a stumbling block.

Oscam, on the other hand, has its code open and is being modified by developers around the world as needed. Newer build versions are constantly being developed and the original code is being updated.

I personally also prefer Cccam, but only for use as a softcam-client. As a softcam-server I use Oscam at home. This is the most compatible usage for some types of coding systems .

Hi.

Exactly so, this ZeroTier client (v1.4.6) is also included in OpenPLi-8.

You can install it via the Shell:

opkg update
opkg install zerotier

ZeroTier usage example in Enigma2 is for example, here:
http://www.satnigmo....gma-2-receiver/

You can also try diagnostics via the RS232 terminal. Connect an RS232 cable (null-modem cable with no hardware handshaking will suffice - https://en.wikipedia...are_handshaking serial cable) between the PC and the set-top box. Start a serial terminal on the PC, e.g. in PUTTY app and watch messages in this terminal. Maybe you'll find a mistake there.

Hi,

 

thanks but i need it to create .zip packages from my fullbackups with backupsuite, therewith i can install it easy in openmultiboot.

i have testet the 7zr from @mrvica but this can only create 7zarchives and not a zip archive

 

 

regards

Pike

Did you also test the "7za" binaries from me (POST #7) ?! I mentioned above the link to "7za" binaries for the CPU architecture mips32el + arm. Unfortunately, "7zr" is a very light version ! However, "7za" is not so light and is very similar to the full version of "7z". Unfortunately, the "7z" version uses libraries and system modules, so it is not possible to use the full-fledged "7z" binary (for example, in the form of an IPK / DEB package from another Enigma distribution). First of all, it depends on what you want to do with the help of the 7zip archiver. Because even a "7za" binary can't do everything, but it's much better than a "7zr" binary.

https://wiki.archlin...nd_7zr_binaries

 

Differences between 7z, 7za and 7zr binaries

 

The package includes three binaries, /usr/bin/7z, /usr/bin/7za, and /usr/bin/7zr. Their manual pages explain the differences:

 

     -- 7z(1) uses plugins to handle archives.
     -- 7za(1) is a stand-alone executable that handles fewer archive formats than 7z.
     -- 7zr(1) is a stand-alone executable. It is a "light-version" of 7za that only handles 7z archives. In contrast to 7za, it cannot handle encrypted archives.

In the case of the ZX-Spectrum, the CPU was very simple, but overall this platform was not. We still forgot about the Joystick connection interface or computer mouse and their solutions .

A similar problem existed with Formuler set-top boxes. In deep standby mode (turning off the set-top box to 100% standby mode) caused Oscam to stop working. The manufacturer solved this by patching their CFE boot-loader. So users flashed the new CFE boot-loader and then everything worked.

I don't know why this problem arose with Formuler devices ... apparently the whole interface of the internal card reader froze with that deep standby, and Oscam couldn't handle it after turning it on again. In your case, of course, the problem may be elsewhere. Maybe you just have an inappropriate startup "init.d" shell-script or the Oscam startup method doesn't work properly for a reason unknown to me.

What version of Oscam are you using?

Try how someone advised you - to update the Oscam from PLi feed.

Hello. That's right. I'm the developer and creator of the ChocholousekPicons plugin. However, the picon designer is Chocholousek. ;-)

 

OpenPLi has a softcam management system no other image has, if you install only the Oscam package, you miss all the ancillary packages, which alone make it not work.

Thank you for your help. my equipment have "freeze's" in some channels, so I tried to put the last OSCAM version.

I'll remove the OSCAM I installed and wait for new OpenPLI updates.

 

Thank you   

 

Your problem, however, will not be caused by the Oscam version or any bugs in the Oscam source code. Your problem will be 90% in the wrong configuration of Oscam. You must know how to set it up. That's the problem. Oscam needs a different configuration for each card.

Sometimes it may happen that BUG appears from version to version. Sometimes it happens that your DVB-provider somehow adjusts the encoding and then you need an up-to-date Oscam (as a well-known SKY DE problem that is being solved). Such problems occur every 5 years and only in the case of some DVB providers.

How to install Oscam manually and not through the package manager has already been explained 10x. Just search the forum or use Google.

I only have the Vu+ Solo SE V2 but it has a completely different chipset. There are also differences between Duo2 and Solo2.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vu%2B

So, use the stand-alone binary executable file 7za . It can also be downloaded from the internet, but contains many dependencies on some libraries / modules. The file 7za is a stand-alone smaller version of 7-zip, while 7z is a full version.

However, older versions of 7za binaries for Enigma work great (without library dependencies):
https://github.com/s...ousekPicons/7za

I use them in my plug-in to unpack picons from .7z archives, so... if the package manager fails to install any p7zip, then I will use the binary.

Of course the functionality may not always be 100% even if it is a stand-alone binaries 7za.

Many similar VPN products have been or are still freeware, but after some time they will become paid. Only OpenVPN protocol is free for all people and everyone is also using it.

ZeroTier is not applicable to Enigma at all, but OpenVPN is. ZeroTier promotes itself as software, but in fact it is just a silly useless GUI that unnecessarily burdens the system and brings nothing new. On the contrary, it works on a similar principle to the older Hamachi software or any other VPN software. It is only a matter of time before it becomes a commercial product, as is the case with Hamachi.

Administrators must be able to configure OpenVPN networks and not set up third-party software for OpenVPN. It really doesn't matter whether it's paid or free software. It is third-party software.

Anyway ... OpenVPN is also a free platform, which later became unfortunately also charged (for some extra bonus - for example, for its servicing). However, the OpenVPN protocol itself is a standard that cannot be charged. Therefore, only services provided to OpenVPN are charged :-).

People on Earth are strange. All people who make money from free products should be ashamed. Many developers around the world try to do something perfect and develop code. Then one person comes and finds a way to make money on this "free-project"! They are crisp and stingy pigs. Therefore, I do not strongly recommend ZeroTier. I hope you understand why I don't recommend it.

I can design and develop a GUI for OpenVPN myself. I can make a nice ad for this product on some nice website. I can spread it to the world. And then, when it is used by a million people, I will start providing additional services to ZeroTier for a fee. I've been in this world for a long time, so I know how these "money catchers" work on people.
